Barnardo’s PATHs Scotland fundraiser

Kate here and I am raising money to support local children in receiving quality mental health and social emotional learning support.

Today, in our local area, primary school aged children are experiencing poor mental health episodes for a multitude of reasons and sadly going unsupported. This can start the spiral into unhealthy choices and a limited ability to regulate emotions which in turn can have life long consequences.

For the above reason I will be hosting a charity fundraiser on the 21st of October at Goals in Shawlands. This years fundraiser will raise awareness and funds for a programme called PATHS (Positive Alternative THinking Strategies). PATHS is a mental health initiative run by Barnardo’s that works to support children in recognising, managing and regulating their emotions to build stronger mental health and resilience. More information on this can be found here: https://www.barnardos.org.uk/what-we-do/services/pathsr-programme-schools-uk-ni-version

PATHS is currently delivered in nurseries and schools across Glasgow and the West and with our support this service can reach more children and help to improve their mental health NOW and better equip them into adulthood.

All money raised will help support the Barnardo’s PATHS programme in Scotland.
